I am afraid so. I have had jars get contaminated with a black mold similar to yours. It spreads slowly but it is indeed a contam.

That doesn't really look like mold. Remember, what we call 'black mold' has white mycelium, and the spores are what is black. That doesn't look like Mucor. I'd suspect metabolites at this time. Keep an eye on it though.

When I threw out my last cake that was colonized I had diagnosed it as Aspergillus Niger. Only reason I thought that might be what you have/had is the description of the black steps. However RR is the man when it comes to cultivation so hes probably right with the diagnosis of metabolites, which I have yet to encounter.

Sorry for the false diagnosis.
